Capítulo 455: In Trouble

"They caught the mice?"

Upon hearing the news from the maid, Shen Nianzu swiftly picked up his skirt and rushed to the garden. He arrived just in time to hear Madam Vivianne instructing the servants to put the mice away and take care of them, all the while keeping her distance and wearing a look of disgust on her face. 

"Wait!" Shen Nianzu intervened, striding toward the servant holding a cage draped in a cloth. From within, the frantic and terrified squeaks of mice could be heard. Tilting his chin high, Shen Nianzu coldly demanded, "Remove the cloth. I would like to inspect the mice."

"Rosie?" Madam Vivianne furrowed her brows in disapproval. "This is not something a lady such as yourself should touch. They're dirty little creatures who will harm you if you're not careful."

"Yet it is this creature which His Highness demands us to take along," Shen Nianzu retorted smoothly, rendering the middle-aged woman somewhat speechless.
